Title: Improvements in Gear for Driving and Reversing Planing Machines for Metal Work.
Inventor: SIMPSON THOMAS
IPC: B23D7/00
Filed: 1911-06-09
Granted: 1912-05-30
Abstract: 13,753. Simpson, T. June 9. Planing. -A driving and reversing gear for a planing machine consists of a belt pulley or gear-wheel 1 constructed to absorb shock and to run free on overload as described in Specification 8366/11, [Class 80 (ii), Gearing, Variable-speed &c.], and mounted in self - oiling bearings 2 in the frame. The pulley is formed in two parts A, B, secured together by bolts and having enclosed two friction plates D, E, with leather interposed, one of the friction plates E having long bosses on which the other parts are mounted. This boss is splined to a hollow spindle 3 and motion is transmitted through the friction plates from the pulley to the spindle by means of engaging projections H on the parts A and D, spiral springs being interposed between these projections to absorb shock, and the friction drive being regulated by the screw ring G. The hollow spindle 3 carries at each end heavy clutch portions 5 which act as fly-wheels and are adapted to drive clutch portions 7, one of which, carrying a gear - wheel 9, is freely mounted on a spindle mounted in ball bearings 23, 25 at each end and passing through the hollow spindle, while the other carrying a pinion 9<a> is splined to a sleeve which carries the gear-wheels 15, 17 adapted to be engaged by the sliding set on sleeve 12<a> for changing the speed of cutting. The pinion.9 drives the shaft 29 through gearing at a constant speed for reversal; the sliding gear which regulates the cutting speed is actuated by a hand-lever 32 and has also an overload device similar to the driving wheel. The hollow spindle 3 which carries the clutch portions is adapted to be slid in an axial direction to engage and disengage the clutches, and this sliding is effected by tappets on the table actuating a rock-shaft 6, which in turn actuates another rock-shaft 6<a>. To the end of the shaft 6<a> is fixed a lever 19, normally vertical, and carrying a wheel 20 which supports a weighted lever 21; when the lever is inclined slightly, the weighted lever acts to push it over into its extreme position and the clutches are actuated at the same time by levers 35 on the rock-shaft. By this means strain on the tappets is avoided. The whole is arranged in a box, and the clutches are run in an oil bath.

Abstract: 12,099. Fuschtschin, A. May 23. Driving-arrangements.-Variable-speed gearing for spinning-machines comprises a driving- pulley 3, over which passes a cord which also passes over a tension pulley and over pulleys 29, 30 loose on a driven shaft 31. The pulleys 29, 30 are adapted to be connected alternatively to the shaft 31 by clutches operated by levers 11, 11<a>. The levers 11, 11<a> are connected together by a link 17, and by a link 16 they are both connected to a lever 15. The top end of the lever 15 is pulled towards a handlever 14 by a spring 18, and these levers are held apart by a pawl 19. The lever 14 is pulled to the left by a spring' 21 and is normally held back by a pawl 22. A bar 24 having projections 25, 26 is moved by the machine driven, and when the machine is started, the lever 14 is pulled to the right by hand so that a projection 20 on it is engaged by a projection 19<1> on the pawl 19. The pulley 29 is then in operation and the machine is driven slowly. The bar 24 is fed upwards until the projection 25 raises the pawl 19, and the spring 18 pulls the levers 15, 11, 11<a> to the right into the configuration shown in Fig. 2 so as to free the pulley 29 and bring the pulley 30 into operation, driving the machine faster. The bar 24 rising farther disengages the pawl 22 by its projection 26, whereupon the spring 21 acting through the lever 14, pawl 19, and levers 11, 11<a> causes the pulley 30 to be freed, and the pulley 29 to come again into operation, for slow driving. To repeat the series of changes, it is necessary to set the lever 14 again by hand.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Presses and Stretchers for Trousers and other Garments.
Inventor: ERIKSON CARL GUSTAF ADOLF
IPC: A47G25/72
Filed: 1913-07-23
Granted: 1914-07-23
Abstract: 16,879. Erikson, C. G. A. July 23. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Combined presses and stretchers.-Each half of the top board B, Fig. 1, of a trouser press has an extension B<2> which has pivotal connexion at B<1> with notched brackets F carried by the bottom board. The pivots being out of the plane of the top board, a stretching effect is produced when each half is depressed on to the bottom board, this effect being increased by polishing the lower board and roughening the top board. The brackets pass freely through sockets C, Fig. 3, carried by the legs E of the press, the sockets being biassed downwards by a spring D, and frictionally binding on to the brackets when the pivot pins are in engagement with the notches B<1>. The trousers having been inserted in the press, the ends of each half of the top board are locked to the bottom board by means of a pin G on the bottom board which passes through a split sleeve H, This has a tapered end J, Fig. 10, which is caused by a spring to lie normally in a tapered recess in the top board, but by the initial movement of the top board away from the bottom board is contracted on to the pin G and frictionally locked to it. Upon lifting the top board, its extension B<2> rides over the extension A<1> of the bottom board, pins K riding up in guide-slots K<1> in the brackets. The boards are thus well spaced to enable the trousers to be got at. The position of the pivot pins and notches B<1> may be varied on the top board and brackets respectively by mounting them on sliding parts, the position of which is adjusted by screws. In a modification, the extension B<2> is replaced by flat springs L, Fig. 11, which are mounted on the top board and engage' under the arms F<1> of brackets F which slide freely in brackets C fixed to the bottom board. A weak spring rod M automatically raises the brackets when the top board is lifted. The degree of resilience of the springs D, Fig. 3, and L, Fig. 11, is varied by fixing at any desired point in their length, slotted holders N, which may be held in place by auxiliary springs N<1>.

Abstract: 23,013. Dyer, H. G., and Adams, C. S. Oct. 11. Arc lamps.-A fume-condensing attachment, by means of which an ordinary enclosed arc lamp may be converted into a flame arc lamp, comprises a chamber formed by an opaque dome-shaped cover 10 and a dished translucent bottom C, detachably secured to the cover and preferably integral with a globe D. As shown, the rim of the bottom C may be held between asbestos or like washers on the cover and on a flanged ring which normally fits within a rim on the cover and is fastened by pivoted catches ; chains 34 connect the ring and cover. An annular partition 20, carrying the lower electrode-holder, is slotted at its upper part for passage of the fumes, and curved outwards at its lower end so as only to leave a narrow annular gap for the return of gases to the globe, the main body of gas in the condenser being thus caused to circulate repeatedly. An inverted cone 22 around the upper electrode assists in guiding the ascending fumes. To the cover 10 is secured a dished plate 26, which is attached to a flat plate 28 by screws passing through keyhole slots to facilitate detachment. The flat plate 28 is fixed by screws to the body of the lamp. Both the cover and the translucent bottom of the condenser act as reflectors when coated with deposits.
